hi,
i'm planning to get either 1 of the phones mentioned in the title, does anyone know which one has better battery performance?
rn3 use more power because of larger screen (5.5" vs 5"), more pixels (FHD vs HD), more powerful processor & gpu
It's gives me 1 full day easily even with moderate usage... Eg. 3hrs music, 1hr30min Movie, some calls, 3G/Wi-Fi on mostly, some pics, some videos and I still have 20% remaining..
I find this good..
Redmi Note 3 32GB ROM 3GB RAM
From what I've heard they're pretty much the same (around 10h sot).
friend has redmi 3 and it get almost every time about 12h sot (never under 10h sot) and 2 days of use with calls, messaging, browsing, games. this phone has really good battery backup, better then rn3
I sold Redmi 3 Pro. I got there ~10-12 SoT. I now have Redmi Note 3 Pro... but you need to wait for me to report it (i got it today).
Mention me after ~5 days.
Getting 3 days usage on miui , 2,5 on cm13 . Around 10-12 sometimes 13h SOT

Nope, Redmi 3Pro is much better. Got both of them with xiaomi.eu Rom.
10h with Redmi 3 Pro = no problem

yes, it should be...
but both r3p and rn3p report around 10h SoT.
I have rn3p and can confirm I usually get around 10h SoT with MIUI/AOSP/CM13
Nope, I mean real use, over 50 Apps, with WA, gaming...
Redmi Note 3 Pro about ~8h
Redmi 3 Pro +10h
But the Redmi Note 3 Pro is much better (650 is much better).
Strange question really. Completely different phones for different segments. Both have excellent battery life, the decision should be between size and processor etc. For me the RN3P is a fantastic value in terms of performance/price/battery life. I don't think anything can match it based on those three criteria.
Just from my experience with the RN3 Pro:
Battery life is fantastic, imo. Easily lasts for 3 days every-day use without ever getting near a point where I really look for the next charge (<15%). Even playing demanding games I would estimate it will last for more than 5 hours (haven't played that long yet, though).
12 hours of SOT is now a memory of a far away past.
I used to score 4-6 hours of SOT in heavy usage, and even 8-12 watching movies, messaging and web browsing.
But now I can barely reach the 4 hours mark, it usually stays between 2 hours (just gaming) and 4:30 (Netflix, web...)
Sometimes I don't really mind getting just a few hours of SOT, but it is really sad looking at the past and remembering that plenty of juice I could squeeze out of this device.
Did also your device got this battery capacity decay? If yes, did a battery replacement actually did something (are the batteries available on sites like AliExpress good enough)?.
Is it really a battery problem or is it a crappy Oreo battery management thing?
PS: I've been using this device for about 1 year and a half.

Visiting the Mi Service centre will be more easy and comfortable....they can give you original battery with replacement warranty of 6 months so....that will be more genuine
It I problem of Battery as it's been used for around 1.5 Year....only those who have newly bought Kenzo like around 6-7 months can say what Oreo battery management is like....it's good or bad....you can try switching ROMs....you will see that you get a extra 30-40 mins of battery n nothing more....which means it's the decay of battery but on the ROM problem...in
I've been experimenting on Oreo and while Doze mode works really well (1% loss by night) I feel that overall battery management is awful, especially when browsing YouTube for instance where I also get 4h SOT max.
I also got my RN3 about 2y ago and battery decay is important due to my heavy usage, with Accu battery I can say that I have no lost about 1/4 battery (3200mah MAX...) But that alone can't explain the SOT loss.
Too bad there isn't any service center in my country I could use a new battery at least for the 1h more that it could give me.

I also checked my estimated battery capacity, and it says 3100mAh (I don't think this is very accurate).
Xiaomi doesn't officially sell phones in my country anymore (they've only sold the Redmi 2).

It's definitely not the most accurate way to check, but based on several charges (more than 20%) I've never seen 4000mah
It's looks like battery degradation. The only way to really check it's swapping batteries. Did you use the stock charger?

Hi all.
I have written a comment to another created threat, but I would like to read your comments here too.
I'm having battery draining and SOT problems with my mi 9, like I said in title (like most people I think).
I have tried everything to improve my battery life in my mi 9, and It's not bad at all, but I was expecting better performance for a top xiaomi smartphone with sd 855 and 5 months old in spite of the fact that it has "only" 3300mah battery ...
I'm not a heavy user and I try to get max SOT and minimum battery drain in all my phones, because I don't like changing smartphones very often and I like to take care of it.
I came from a Moto G4 plus, and I had 5h of SOT in 48h without high standby drainage (maybe 1-2% of drainage overnight in 7-9h) with a 3 years old battery and worst hardware and software. In mi 9, I'm getting 5-6h of SOT in 48-72h. Not bad at all, but standby drainage is awfull. It loses 20-25% of the battery every 48h (3-5% overnight), and in a smartphone with such a fair battery it's a problem. If I'm not getting great results with not heavy use and my smartphone is new, I don't want to think in 2-3 years + mid-heavy use ... I have tried everything (full wipes, reinstalling, the most powerfull battery saving, etc) and I don't have great result. Standby drainage is very hight compared to other phones (I have tried a friend poco f1 and I had 10h in 48-72h with 1% overnight drainage. It was awsome).
And now the question ...
I'm thinking of changing my mi 9 for a huawei mate 20... I still have the 30d Amazon refund and I am not comfortable with my phone's battery.
- Mate 20 pros vs mi 9: +700 mah battery and more efficient, the best ips panel without burn-in problem, and fingerprint sensor behind the screen (no like too much in-screen fingerprint at all).
- Pros mi 9 vs mate 20: sd 855 (but geekbech it's very very similar, and antutu winner is mi 9 only for gamming but mate 20 still on top), unlocking bootloader for mi 9 (better comunity in xda, but if emui works well I think I don't need custom rooms, the problem here is Trump/google vs China ... but now apeares to be solved and we would have newer updates to Android Q), wireless charging (I don't use it because smartphone is hotter when charging 3-5ยบ vs cable+1,5a charger, It takes more time to charge with elevated temperature), not jack (better for waterproof), maybe very little better cameras in mi 9 and little better results, 4 months younger (very little difference) and It's the top phone on xiaomi (mate 20 is the little brother because we have mate 20 pro, 20x, p30, p30 pro and we will have soon mate 20 and mate 20 pro; and that could be worst because we will get latter uptdates in mate 20).
What do you think? Would you change mi 9 for mate 20? Reading your comments. Greetings.
I'm sorry but you're asking about changing a phone on a forum which is meant for custom roms. And Mate 20 bootloader cannot be unlocked. So, i would never change to Huawei or Honor because of that.
Maybe battery life will be better with Android Q update?

I know. But there is a forum for mate 20 in xda too. I want to know your opinion too
Battery in mi 9 (standby drainage) is really bad -.- and mate 20 does not seems bad at all. Maybe between sd 845 and 855 no?
We will see if the drainage is corrected in android Q or not ...
What about xiaomi.eu? same drainage that official?
Thanks for your answer.

I haven't had issues with the Mi 9's battery at all.
Consider flashing Xiaomi.eu.

That's not 20% in 4h. That's 39% usage in 4h. Look at the screen on section and not his current battery percentage.
Come on, how can you even be here on XDA entertaining the idea of having a Huawei? Seriously, you won't be able to unlock that bootloader ever, and that's a HUGE problem.

I know, but I think that if EMUI works well, I think that I will not need to unlock and flash other ROMS. I think that it doesn't exist the perfect smartphone. Thanks for answering

I have just read it. I found 2 new tips I didn' know. Thank you. I'll try.
I could add some new tips I have found this days:
- Deactivate in developer options, the last two options (something like MIUI optimizations and alert)
- If you install Quickshorcut and search "installed apps" you can find a new option unaccesible in MIUI and you can disable some extra apps.
- Disable google assistant: in config/aditional options/quick access to buttons
- Disable voice match google in google app/settings/voice/voice match (disable voice match and unlock with voice match)
- If you hold any app in your android desktop you can restrict background app selecting the "i" for info/battery/backgroud restrict (you need to do that in every app)
- Uninstall facemoji keyboard: open it an use it some 2-5 min, and when it apeares in battery usage, you can uninstall it.
- More battery optimizations for apps in: config/aditional settings/privacy/special access to apps/battery optimization.
Have a nice day
So i regularly use AccuBattery app in my android device. It's a very useful one.
So i installed this on my new Poco X2. Those who've used it know that it can estimate your current battery capacity based on charge sessions and some other stuff.
And upon using it showed my Poco X2's estimated battery at around only 3800mah.
And a lot of users also are complaining about battery backup on flipkart.
Please check and post your device's estimated battery capacity via AccuBattery app.
Unfortunately, what Flipkart reviews say is actually right, this phone has serious SOT problems with 120 hz i only get 6.5 hours sot and 8 hours with 60hz and I don't even use it heavily just YouTube and small games with social media. This phone has very poor optimization. I know i shouldn't compare but if you look at realme 6 pro almost same specs but with smaller battery (4300) gives 1 hour more SOT even with heavy usage(both set to 60hz). This is absolutely disappointing, eagerly waiting for custom roms and custom kernels to make it as my daily driver. Will update you on the accubattery results

Thankyou, waiting for it.
Bafore this I was using standard China Rom with mine and battery was a mess. But I unlocked & flash MIUI.eu. I add-on "naptime" to help with Doze & using Universal GMS Doze magisk module. Managed to get almost 8hrs SOT with ads removed, bloatware removed & MSA removed. Maybe you should give it a try and see ?
Same
Battery is fine for me
Don't know how people here getting more than 3.8k mah estimated. Mine doesn't go above that. I'm pretty sure some units have battery problem as reported by few buyers on Flipkart. Some said battery is excellent while some said poor battery. I think poco x2 indian units are suffering more. Since after watching some tests on the redmi k30 Chinese variant by YouTubers they got significanly more SOT. I tweeted to them, no reply from their side yet ?
I got my K30 directly from China. No battery issues whatsoever.
I've been getting consistent SOT of 9.5 hrs on average with heavy use. SOT range for me has been 7 hrs (120Hz) - 11 hrs (60 Hz) on 4G LTE (you can check my post on SOT thread).
Being a heavy user, this battery life has literally blown me away and I absolutely love this phone simply for that. I can easily get thru a very heavy day with 30-40% battery left. I've been charging the phone twice every three days on average.
I'm on stock CN ROM (MIUI 11.0.13 Stable)
I easily get 8 hours + SOT with gaming. I play cod and pubg extensively.
Battery life update after using a month .
Mild gaming and social media usage.
Average sot is around 10hrs , battery lasts 30-50hrs depending on camera usage.
Unable to upload screen shot showing bad request.
Is AccuBattery reliably on first cycles? If many users have 3800 mah insted of 4500mah then something stinks here
My poco X2 shows 4398mah
I am on stock Indian rom miui 11.0.10
I did some quick research across the web and it looks like there are three types of d
1. Battery Drain issue devices, they have bad battery issues, battery capacity way below 4500 and widely varying with users. Screen off discharge is way off charts, like >5%/hr. SoTs varying around 5hrs or <5hrs
2. Inefficient battery devices. (Majority) They have battery capacity much below the specification, however less varying, always around 3800mAh. Battery doesn't drain that badly
I have this device, heavy usage like pubg clocks around 15-20%/hr, normal usage around 10%hr and screen off discharge rate at 0.5-0.9%/hr. Hardly discharges 2-3 percent through the night
3. Ok devices. These are the best sets. Battery capacity constantly goes above 4000mAh (still doesn't hit the required 4500 mark tho). No serious battery drain issues. (I don't know much about these devices because they don't look into the web coz they have no issues.

Usually i get around 9hrs 30 min sot on 60hz and around 8hrs on 120hz...( Without gaming ) after the update of miui 11.0.11 my phones battery backup gradually increased 1 hr on 120hz...+ I did some tweaks blocking system apps from running in the background
After using the phone for 8 months, I noticed that charging speeds have significantly reduced. At the beginning, the battery went from 0-100% in ~70-75 mins if I remember correctly (cross checked this with another review website).
But when I properly checked today (after a long time), it took 118 mins (2 hrs!) for the battery to go from 2-100%. I also plan to check this with the screen/phone off again.
The battery life is still great though, maybe slightly reduced compared to the beginning.

Original charger used and the cable is in perfect condition.
Re-tested today with the phone switched off and it went from 4-100% in 70 mins! So all is good. Planning to test tomorrow again with the phone switched on.
Battery life is still stellar. 8.5 hrs of SOT for 26 hrs of usage on 120Hz; 70% WiFi and 30% LTE.
Does anyone facing battery Draining issue on Realme 7. I bought it from 10 days ago but my realme 7 battery drains fast as compare to other 5000mah phone i don't use this phone for gaming purpose still it hardly last 1 day . I want to know that its software issue or hardware problem because i also checked with Accubattery it shows battery health is 93% , I tried greenify donation version also inbuilt process manager that freez apps like facebook and set all foreground and background activity disabled but it doesn't help. My other phone Redmi Note 9 pro that i use for gaming it gives me full day gaming and movies like 10hrs. I know snapdragon 720g has better battery optimization but still without gaming on Realme 7 it should be last atleast 6hrs on screen activity battery stats also faulty when i fully discharge my phone and then fully charge it to 100% still battery stat is not reseting i also clear cache of battery but that doesn't helpfull . Please tell me anything i can do with battery draining issue
resetting your phone and os update may help. with medium to heavy gaming session, my realme 7 only got 4hrs screen on time, this G95 is power hungry, yeah its G90T overclocked no wonder some user will complaints after poor battery life. based on collective user data, snapdragon 720g or even 732G usually got better score on battery life than mediatek. between 70 to 85% longer usage
Thanks to lattest update most of the problems are solved
